Syntax
|
The NORMALIZE( ) method normalizes TEXT nodes by removing empty TEXT nodes and merging adjacent TEXT nodes. Thus, only structure node types (such as ELEMENT, CDATA-SECTION, and so on) separate TEXT nodes. The NORMALIZE( ) method also normalizes white space in ATTRIBUTE nodes according to the rules defined by the XML specification.
